We  present  herewith  to  the  Public  generally  our  Sample  Book  embracing  our  present  line  of  Shades  in 


BID  ZF^IDTT. 

For  many  years  it  has  been  th£  custom  among  manufacturers  of  Paints  to  distribute  samples  consisting  usually 
of  small  squares,  representing  their  various  shades  arranged  in  card  or  circular  form,  for  the  purpose  of  aiding  mer- 
chants in  disposing  of  their  goods,  and  giving  to  the  consumer  a better  opportunity  of  making  his  selection  of  shades. 

With  this  book  we  propose  to  depart  from  this  time  honored  custom,  and  endeavor  to  show  to  the  public, 
exactly,  the  appearance  of  a house  when  painted  with  any  of  our  shades;  and  to  this  end,  we  call  your  attention  to  the 
body  color  in  each  plate. 

In  trimming  the  various  plates  we  have  had  in  view  not  only  a preservation  of  the  ideas  of  harmony,  but  we 
have  also  taken  a liberal  range.  Employing  the  same  shade  on  many  plates  with  the  idea  of  obviating  the  necessity  to  a 
merchant  of  carrying  in  stock  so  great  a number  of  shades  suitable  only  for  trimming  purposes. 

The  combinations  herein  displayed  are  such  as  in  our  opinion,  are  best  calculated  to  impress  the  public 
favorably.  We  have  used  only  new,  popular  and  fashonable  tints,  and  even  should  there  be  nothing  shown  which  would 
meet  the  approval  of  all,  we  feel  assured  that  from  the  plates  some  ideas  may  be  gathered  which  will  prove  an  assistance 
to  them  in  arranging  a combination  to  suit  their  views. 

WHY  THE  HEATH  & MILLIGAN  MANF’G  GO’S  PREPARED  PAINTS  ARE  THE  -BEST.” 

It  will  scarcely  be  denied  that  when  Prepared  Paints  are  composed  of  materials  which  have  been  proved  by  long 
usage  as  the  best  known,  and  that  when  these  are  compounded  according  to  rules  of  proportion  prescribed  by  the  best 
painters  and  established  by  experience,  and  that  when  these  ingredients  are  ground  together  and  intimately  blended  by 
processes  far  superior  to  the  laborious  and  old  fashioned  methods,  the  paints  must  be  as  perfect  as  it  is  possible  to  make. 
Thus  the  Heath  & Milligan  Manf’g  Co’s  Paints  are  made,  and  they  are  as  far  superior  to  hand-made  paints  as  the  best 
machine  made  American  watches  are  superior  to  the  cheap  hand-make  time  pieces  of  Switzerland. 

That  Prepared  Paints  have  not  superseded  all  others  argues  nothing  against  their  excellence.  Unfortunately 
tor  their  complete  triumph  in  popular  esteem,  they  are  readily  counterfeited,  and  from  the  date  of  their  first  manufac- 
ture, the  market  has  been  flooded  with  so-called  “mixed  paints,”  which  like  everything  else  that  is  cheap,  have  found 
ready  sale.  When  their  worthlessness  is  proven  by  trial,  the  victims  are  ever  ready  to  declaim  against  all  prepared 
paints  as  a fraud. 


We  claim  that  our  “Best”  Prepared  Paints  are  Superior  to  most  Paints  on  the  Market. 

We  further  claim  that  they  are  equal  if  not  superior  to  any  paint  that  can  be  prepared  by  a painter  in  the 
ordinary  way  by  hand.  We  know  this  is  a pretty  strong  assertion,  but  we  are  ready  and  willing  to  prove  the  truth  or 
falsity  of  what  we  say. 

We  will  furnish  paint  to  cover  one  half  of  a building,  the  other  half  to  be  painted  with  any  other  brand  of  paint 
ready  for  use,  or  paint  prepared  by  the  painter  himself,  he  selecting  any  pig.ment  he  may  desire  as  a base,  and  using  such 
material  as  in  his  judgment  is  best  to  produce  the  required  shade.  If,  in  the  opinion  of  a disinterested  party,  the 
Heath  & Milligan  Manf’g  Co’s  Best  Prepared  Paint  is  not  superior  to  the  other  brand  of  paint  in  use,  or  equal  in 
every  essential  respect  to  the  paint  prepared  by  the  painter,  so  far  as  working  qualities,  covering  properties  and 
general  appearance  is  concerned,  there  will  be  no  charge  made  for  the  paint.  If  in  the  judgement  of  the  “referee” 
our  paint  proves  equal  or  superior  to  the  paint  used  against  it,  the  paint  shall  be  paid  for;  but  we  are  willing  to  go 
further;  if  our  paint  at  the  expiration  of  one.  two,  three  or  five  years  is  not  equal  to  that  prepared  by  the  painter,  as 
regards  beauty  of  finish  and  durability,  we  will  refund  the  money  paid. 

It  is  impossible  to  lay  down  a rule  governing  the  amount  of  paint  required  for  a given  surface;  both  new  and  old 
weather-beaten  work  will  require  more  paint  than  a smooth  and  hard  surface;  and  the  amount  will  vary  according  to  the 
nature  of  the  work.  On  ordinary  surfaces;  one  gallon  of  our  Best  Prepared  Paint  will  spread  two  coats  over  250  square 
feet  and  the  following  rule  will  be  found  convenient  in  ascertaining  the  quantity  of  Paint  required  to  cover  a desired 
surface. 


To  the  number  of  feet  in  width,  (front  and  rear)  add  the  number  of  feet  in  length,  (both  sides);  multiply  this 
by  the  average  height,  and  the  product  will  be  the  number  of  square  feet  to  be  painted.  This  divided  by  250,  as  one 
gallon  of  our  Best  Prepared  Paint  covers  2o0  square  feet  of  fair  or  smooth  surface. (two  coats)  gives  the  quantity  required 
in  gallons. 

As  is  understood  by  every  practical  painter,  Paint  when  mixed  for  use  should  be  of  different  consistency  for 
priming  or  first  coating  and  for  second  coating  or  finishing.  Our  Best  Prepared  Phint  as  it  leaves  the  factory  is  of  the 
proper  consistency  for  second  coat  work.  In  priming  new  work  or  old  weather-beaten  work  which  has  become  dry  and 
porous,  this  Paint  should  be  thinned  with  Pure  Linseed  Oil.
